Hi all!

I am currently enrolled in an 1800 hour Machinist program and loving it. My question is regarding the apprenticeship to obtain a Red Seal certification.

With many well paying jobs hiring straight out of school without a formal apprenticeship given, should an effort still be made to continue after schooling down the path of apprenticeship? One of the issues is that I see many jobs available with very little experience required as there is a shortage of Machinists, but it is rare I see an opening for a formal apprectice.

Any advice would be appreciated!
